What is an invalid clicks violation?

Google Adsense pays its publishers in the CPC model. (cents per click) meaning for every ad clicks you can generate from your blog you can make money. But sometimes some cunning publishers hire people to intentionally click on those ads as a result Advertisers in Google lose money instead of leads.

Keep an eye on Bounce Rate

The bounce rate is very crucial to factor out your audience vs the bots. If you have a very high bounce rate of almost 100% you need to look at the traffic source of your website and also your content. What happens is that if people come to your website and leaves immediately, most probably they are bots.

Don’t put Ads under or before any button

Many people like to trick users by putting ads around a wrapper or a button. When a user try to click on the button they accidentally click on the ad. Unfortunately, they immediately close the Ad. This considered an invalid click. Make sure you put enough spaces between your ad and any kind of elements like button.
